- Added Project Settings concept. The Project Settings is a file
namedride_settings.cfg inside a directory named.robot
located in the Test Suite directory. - Fixed crash when renaming test cases names on Tree (Project

This version supports Python 3.8 up to 3.13 (and also tested on 3.14.rc3 with wxPython 4.2.3).
There are some changes, or known issues:
- 🐞 - Rename Keywords, Find Usages/Find where used are not

Editor and back to Grid Editor, to restore normal behavior.
New Features and Fixes Highlights
- Added Project Settings concept. The Project Settings is a file namedride_settings.cfg inside a directory named.robot located in the Test Suite directory. The search for this directory, is done upwards from the Test Suite directory. You can create an empty directory,.robot located in the Test Suite directory or any parent directory, and RIDE will create and use theride_settings.cfg. This way you can have different settings, like: colors, UI language, and Plugins settings. The most relevant example is the creation of different Run Profiles or Arguments, in Test Runner. When you open a Test Suite outside one with Project Settings, you will see a dialog to restart RIDE, to use theGlobal Settings.
- Fixed crash when renaming test cases names on Tree (Project Explorer), by cancelling with Escape or by adding a Space in the end.
- Fixed missing text colorization in suites and test settings on Grid Editor.
Linux users are advised to install first wxPython from .whl package at wxPython.org, or by using the system package manager.
